Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Taylor Connoisseur 515B Grill Button Thermometers
Customer Review: The perfect leave-in instant-read meat thermometer!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been searching almost two years for a leave-in instant-read meat thermometer for grilling steaks. I just used these last night, and they performed beautifully. Quick response time, leave-in durability, glow-in-the-dark dials, and the length is perfect for a steak. I stuck one in the middle of the long edge of the steak and another straight in toward the center from a short edge, which gave me temperature indications for two different critical points - exact center and halfway to the center from the end.
I was, at first, a little wary of using a thermometer that only lists "target temperatures" on it (and I don't advise anyone to trust that 145º is Rare), and so I almost skipped this entirely, but looking at the pictures I noticed that there's a rim you can use as a gauge... and, estimating from the spacing between 145, 160, and 170 (the marked target), it seemed the gauge started at somewhere between 120º and 125º - my target temperature at which I take the steaks off the grill (the steak continues cooking while resting, and the center temperature will continue to rise).
Last night, I took the steak off as soon as it got to the beginning of the gauge on the center thermometer (the end thermometer was just a hair into the gauge), and I got a perfect medium-rare steak after ten minutes of resting under foil.
Pros: Accurate, fast response while designed to leave in the grill for constant monitoring
Cons: Only lists three "target temperatures" rather than a fully numbered gauge, might not be dishwasher safe
The packaging doesn't say whether the thermometers can be cleaned in the dishwasher, so I'll be hand-washing them just to be safe.
Recommended!
